Unmanned NASA Storm Sentinels set for Hurricane Study

Primary Topic: 
Technology
Subtopics: 
Weather and Climate, Remote Sensing
Type: 
Article
Audience: 
Informal, Formal, 6 - 8, 9 - 12
Keywords: 
airplane, aeronautics, UAV, sensors, hurricanes
Summary: 
NASA will dispatch two unmanned aircraft equipped with specialized instruments high above tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean basin. These "severe storm sentinels" will investigate the processes that underlie hurricane formation and intensity change.

Primary Topic: 
Weather and Climate
Subtopics: 
Tropical Cyclones, Remote Sensing, Societal Applications, Floods
Type: 
Video
Audience: 
Outreach, Informal, General
